Icarus

Icarus

One year ago

One year ago
We were nearly lovers
One year ago
The closest of friends
One year ago
I was approaching bliss
 
We lay in embrace
Under a tree by the lake
Our stolen moment
Such a sweet interlude
Being in love
With you
 
Time has had its way
What once was so
Completely entwined
Has been utterly
Torn apart
Just one year ago

(2015)

Hope is so elusive It just won’t come near Hopelessness and foolishness Grasping to things that just aren’… I can’t seem to find freedom
Right Thinking

Life is right judgement Wisdom divides great from small Wrongness has no life
